Whataburger Sets the Stage for a New Eatery in Mooresville, NC
Excitement is brewing as Whataburger embarks on its latest venture, expanding its beloved brand to Mooresville, North Carolina. Preparations are already in full speed at the site located at 604 River Highway, where interior demolition work is currently underway for the establishment of this new restaurant.
A Fresh Start in an Old Spot
The bustling Mooresville location is making its home in the Winslow Bay Commons retail center, a previously successful venue that housed an O’Charley’s restaurant. Nestled adjacent to a Super Target, the new Whataburger aims to attract patrons from all around, eager to savor the chain’s iconic offerings as they shop or dine in the area.
Charlotte Area Receives a Texas-Inspired Treat
Whataburger, known for its *delicious burgers* and commitment to fresh ingredients, is on an ambitious mission to increase its footprint in the Charlotte area. The Mooresville site marks just one of several planned locations designed to bring this Texan flavor to North Carolina. According to various reports, multiple other outlets are in the pipeline and in various stages of planning or construction, promising a bountiful spread of Whataburger delightful options across the region.
Upcoming Locations Galore!
A few footings have already been laid out for future restaurants. With the first opening scheduled this spring, a new venue will greet guests at 3415 E. Franklin Blvd in Gastonia. Additionally, zoning approval has been granted for a second location at Clear Creek Crossing near Mint Hill, with a grand opening expected this summer at 12935 Albemarle Road. The expansion doesn’t stop there, as Whataburger prospects are also sighted in the cities of Hickory, Indian Land, Greensboro, Winston-Salem, Archdale, and High Point, estimating a total of nine establishments to be confirmed by this fall.
Living the Fresh Way
Whataburger prides itself on serving quality food, with a fresh approach that sets it apart from competitors in the fast-food industry. Each burger is prepared made-to-order using fresh, never frozen beef. Guests are invited to customize their burgers with a myriad of sauces, toppings, and bun sizes, allowing each meal to be a reflection of personal taste.
Whataburger’s flagship item, the No. 1 Burger, weighs in at a hearty five ounces and is served on a soft five-inch bun, giving patrons the chance to tweak their order by adding or removing ingredients without an additional charge.
Boosting Local Economy with a New Processing Plant
To bolster their operations in the Southeast, a new processing plant is also under construction in Atlanta, set to support these expansions while ensuring a steady supply of quality ingredients. Whataburger places a strong emphasis on freshness, with daily preparation of ingredients like tomatoes, lettuce, and onions right in the stores.
Whataburger’s Journey to the South
The Texan burger chain has been charting its course steadily towards the East, having made its initial foray into the South Carolina market just last year, establishing locations in Columbia, Greenville, and Spartanburg. With over 1,000 locations now serving customers across 16 states, Whataburger is clearly committed to becoming a household name far beyond its Texan roots.
Countdown to Flavor!
With these exciting developments rolling out, food enthusiasts in North Carolina can look forward to the mouth-watering burgers and savory experiences that Whataburger has to offer. As the golden A-frame buildings start to pop up across the Charlotte area, the countdown to flavor has officially begun. Keep your plates ready!
